The hearing, which got underway at 10 a.m., was taking place just hours before Hizzoner's new Charter Revision Commission was slated to convene for the very first time in an effort that could short-circuit the council's move.

Ingrid Lewis-Martin, the mayor's chief adviser, told reporters Tuesday the hold-up is about accommodating a recent request from Council Speaker Adrienne Adams' office.
